Rick's Dilemma Chapter 72
Racheal Madison had been stuggling with her job at work. It seemed that a few people had found out about her relationship with James. No one actually said anything in her hearing, but it was the way certain executives of the company would look at her. Some even made provocative remarks to her. She was on edge when around groups now. She had always had a confidence about her that assured her co-workers. Now, she had become a bit reserved around them. This latest project that the Chairman had given her meant that she had to interact with the new clients directly. One was a Mr. Ed Moss. He was the Chairman of Moss Inc. Their main business was real estate. He happened to be the owner of the company that had developed Wong Manor (Mistress Hill). At this time, he was sitting in Racheal's office. "So Mr. Moss, what can I do for you today" Racheal was a little hesitant. Mr. Moss looked at Racheal with a sneer on his face. "Well for starters, you can call me Ed. I remember you from whe

It was Rick's last meeting in Athens, as well as the last of the whole trip. He felt like a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. The rest of the time was free to enjoy with his wife. He had just one more thing to do before heading back to the hotel. He still had to find a peice of jewerly for Debbie. In London he had gotten the diamond necklace, in Paris it was the diamond earrings, in Rome he got a ruby and diamond bracelet and in Cairo Rick found an exquisite rudy and diamond brooch. He had been wondering what else he could find to round out this set with. Then it came to him as he saw a couple on the street having wedding photos taken. When he and Debbie had gotten married five years ago, he could not afford an engagment ring. All he could get her was a plain gold band. So that was his goal today. He wanted to find the perfect diamond engagment ring to let Debbis know that he had not forgotten those lean times. His driver had been in this business a long time, and had se

The next day on the way to the bridal store to pick out a dress for Debbie to wear on their photo shoot, Rick asked the driver to stop at the photographer's shop first. When they arrived, the man who was to take the pictures met them at the door. "Are you Mr. and Mrs. Green? Please come in and let's talk about the plans for today." The couple followed the man to his office. His name was Harry Jones. He was a congenial man with a nice personality. Harry sat the couple down and explained what he had in mind for their photos. Debbie was excited to get started. Harry would accompany them to the bridal store to get some snaps of Debbie picking out and trying on her dress. Rick asked Debbie to go out into the show room to look at some of Harry's work. He held Harry back to ask him a favor. Rick told him what he had in mind to kick off the day. Harry was fine with Rick's plan. "So shall we get started?" Harry asked the two. Debbie replied "Oh yes, please!" She was really excited ab

Rick called Old Wilson that night to inform him of when they would be returning to Fing City. "Hello old friend! Thank you so much for this time in Santorini. This has been an awesome respite before the long trip home. We will be returning to Fing City in three days. Would you be so kind as to have Li Fan meet us at the airport? We will also need a delivery van to transport all of our luggage. Debbie and I have made a few purchases while in Europe, and there is no way to fit everything into a car trunk!" Old Wilson was glad to hear that they had a good time. He was also looking forward to their return to Fing City. He had much to discuss with his Young Master. "I am looking forward to hearing all about your adventures! And I will be glad to have you back home. We have a lot to talk about, since so much has happened while you have been away." With so many renovation projects underway, Old Wilson wanted Rick's input on all of them. The basic reconstruction of the old Green Villa

The next two weeks saw a lot of changes. First, Rick and Debbie returned to Fing City. Their trip had been a huge success for Rick. Debbie had a new wardrobe and some maternity clothes. The couple had made a lot of memories together over the course of the tour. The day after their return, Old Wilson set up a meeting with his Young Master. He had so much to discuss with Rick. "Young Master! It is good to have you home. Shall we make a start on what's been happening since you have been away?" Rick had asked Old Wilson to come to Ting Gap for this meeting. Debbie was going to need a few days rest after the long trip home, and Rick wanted to be close by in case she needed anything. He took Old Wilson out by the pool so that they would not be over heard. "It's good to be home, Old Friend! Before we start on business, I have some news for your ears only. Debbie is carrying triplets! All boys. I can't seem to get my head around it yet." Old Wilson was amazed. "That is wonderful ne
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 77
Debbie had reluctantly called her mother after resting a while. The trip had been very exciting, but also very draining. She and Rick had decided that it was time to tell Lois about the pregnancy. They knew that she would be put out if she heard it from someone else. Debbie asked her to dinner at Ting Gap. Lois was hoping to put her devious plan into action soon, so this invitation might be just the time. When Lois arrived, Li Fan showed her out to the pool house where Debbie and Rick were already seated. They greeted Lois a bit stiffly, but Lois saw a few wrapped presents on a nearby table, so she didn't say much. "So how was your trip? Did everything go well?" Debbie and Rick took turns retelling their adventures while Lois listened enviously. Then Debbie handed Lois a few gifts that they had brought back for her. A labled handbag from Paris, an Egpytian scarf and a small pearl necklace from Greece that they had found on Santorini. Lois was impressed. Now it was time to b
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 78
While Old Wilson was still at Ting Gap, he had something to discuss with both Debbie and Rick. "Young Master, since you are both here, there is something that I must bring to your attention. I had a conversation with Ms. Madison at the office the other day. She has some concerns about her position. It seems one of the new clients, a Mr. Moss, intimidated her and made certain suggestions. He threatened to expose her if she didn't give in to his demands. I know of her background of course, so this kind of thing was bound to come up. My question is, how do you want to handle it?" Rick looked to Debbie for her views on the matter. Debbie sat in thought for a few moments. "Ms. Madison is an excellent worker. She leads her department with the utmost dignity. There is no room for disrespect from fellow employees or our clients where she is concerned. I will not have her targeted for this or any other reason. I am open to suggestions from either of you on how to deal with Mr. Moss and any
Rick's Dilemma Chapter 79
Alice had not told the family about her leaving Jelang. She wanted to wait until she knew for certain when she was going. Now the time had come to make the announcement. She walked up to her parents' house to tell them all. It was time for the evening meal, and as was their custom, most of the family would be present. As she walked in, she heard more talk about Rick and Debbie. Snide remarks by her brother Howard were the loudest. She ignored these, and went straight to the head of the table and asked her father to call the gathering to order, that she had something to say. Old Man Thomas was a bit taken aback, as Alice never had much to say about anything before. Alice cleared her throat and began. "I have an announcement. I will be leaving Jelang in the morning. I have been hired on as a nanny for a wealthy family in Fing City. My house here has been rented out, so I would ask that, if you would, just keep an eye out on it for me." The family was in shock. No one ever thought
